Born at home, in Dingmans Ferry, on Jan. 13, 1936, Edna was the last of 13 children born to the late Frank and Kathryn Dickison. She was of the Methodist faith and often reminisced about walking a mile to Sunday school when she was a little girl.

Edna's first and foremost job was being a mother. Later in life, she worked at Pocono Medical Center and retired after 29 years. In addition to working at the hospital, she was the "super" of her apartment building. She was somewhat of a den mother, watching over and helping the tenants. She was naturally nurturing and prepared many meals to share with neighbors and friends. They, in turn, loved her and came bearing gifts and groceries.

Preceding her in death, in addition to her parents and many siblings, was her husband, Charles Paul Haag, who was born on Dec. 13, 1937, in Philadelphia and passed away in 1988.

Edna is survived by her adoring children: Deborah Stock and her husband, Philip, of Stroudsburg; Kathryn C. Debronsky and her husband, George, of Mount Joy; Sharon Nothstein and her husband, Robert, of Henryville; Charles E. Haag of Henryville; Dean A. Haag and his wife, Kim, of Binghamton, N.Y.; and Ellen M. Snook and her husband, Christopher, of Bushkill. She cherished her grandchildren: Christopher, Ashley, Danielle, Rachael and Jesse; her extended grandchildren, Troy and Jason; and her extended great-grandchild, Kaylei.

In addition, she is survived by one brother, Harold Dickison and his wife, Margie, of Dingmans Ferry, and many nephews and nieces. She was very excited and looking forward to the birth of her first great-grandchild this August who, if a girl, will bear her middle name.

Edna was blessed by her many friendships. She loved Shelly and Joe as brothers, and we thank you both for your loving kindness, support and friendship throughout the years. She would want us to send her love to Carol, Art, Violet, Gladys, Kirsten and Joan.

We would like to extend heartfelt thanks to family, friends, all the wonderful doctors, staff, especially Rob in CV, third-floor staff and all the amazing "angels" in the emergency room and the Compassionate Care Unit on the fifth floor, and all the caregivers at Whitestone.

To honor Edna's wishes, there will be no viewing, and the burial service will be private. Her wish is that her friends and family remember her as they last saw her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in our mother's name to PMC's ESSA Heart and Vascular Institute, PMC's Pocono Health Foundation or Fitzmaurice Community Services.
